The raising risk of data thief is becoming a great concern for those who need to protect companies’ networks.
It’s so easy connect a portable mass storage device, such CDs, floppies, MP3 players, into a computer and download sensitive commercial information from the network, or even upload a virus and other malware to the company’s environment, that now the uncontrolled use of these devices are a major threat to network security.
The new software from GFI, EndPointScan, could be vital for companies that want to keep their data safe. You can scan and ensure the endpoint security in your network.
You can monitor:
- floppy disk
- CD/DVD Rom
- Storage Devices
- Printers
- PDAs
- Network adapters
- Modems
- Imaging Devices
- Human Interface Devices and others
EndpoitScan scan for devices on the following ports:
- USB
- Firewire
- PCMCIA
- Bluetooth
- SecureDigital
- Serial and Parallel
- Infra-red
- Internal (floppy drives)
Endpoint is free, web-based, multi-threaded and compatible with existing network management tool such as Active Directory.
At the end, you will receive an easy to read report, just like this one:
At EndPointScan website, you can find a User Manual, Troubleshooting guide and valuable tips.
Too good to be true?
Yes, there are some cons:
- It just works with Windows 2000, XP or 2003 as operating system
- You need Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later, with Internet Security settings set to Medium
- You need to download Active X
As an old and loyal GFI’s products user, I sincerely hope EndPointScan release a version for Linux/Firefox users soon.
